Posted September 20, 200816 yr comment_260995 Hey y'all,I just got my new set of eiback springs from Motorsport auto. No directions. I just need to confirm...Do the shorter springs go in front or back?ThanksNick Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/29421-a-little-eibaching-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 20, 200816 yr comment_261022 Off the top of my head, there are 4 springs, 2 of which have a sticker or printing saying where they go, that leaves the other 2 for the other half of the car.I'm sure that sounded stupid but my set had identifying stickers. Look for those markers and go from there.

September 21, 200816 yr Author comment_261092 Nope no stickers on these. When I called this morning, I was told by Motorsport that the springs witht hte part number ending in .001 go in fron and the .002 go in back. Just so happens the .002 are longer.

September 21, 200816 yr comment_261116 My set of eibach springs for my 1972 240Z have larger spring wire diameter for the front.Another way to look at it... the front springs are made out of fatter wire.zdisease Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/29421-a-little-eibaching-help-please/#findComment-261116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 22, 200816 yr comment_261178 thank you guys for posting this thread....a while back my dad and I had some issues with MSA and decided to not deal with them for a while. so i've been using black dragon auto for my Z parts....they don't carry eibach springs for anything before a 300zx. anyways i was going to ask you guys if you could suggest good springs for a 280z but i found your post just now and went on the MSA site and picked up a set of springs for 180 bucks, alot cheaper than ive seen them for before!

September 22, 200816 yr comment_261188 They are blowing out their current stock to make room for new stock and NEW items that came about during the summer. You'll also find that they do that after The Vegas shows like SEMA, when everyone comes out with new products.Dave.

September 22, 200816 yr comment_261231 Yea I think Sal told me MSA bought all the remaining Eibach 280Z springs left. That's what I have on my '78 280Z along with Tokico HP shocks. Look at my signature pic of our 280Z for the drop.

September 22, 200816 yr comment_261264 ^ 15 x 7 rims. I'm not a big fan of oversized rims on a classic Z.

September 22, 200816 yr comment_261286 I've got 16X7's with 225/50ZR16's on the 70' (shown below) but I'm thinking about going with a 225/45ZR17 for the 260Z. What's the best "Zero Clearance Issue" size to use with a 17" wheel? Anyone??
